Russell Hoban and A Monster Calls audiobook

One of my very favourite writers died this week, the amazing, amazing, amazing Russell Hoban.  His Riddley Walker is a big influence on the trilogy, and one of the most incredible books of the last fifty years.  I had the honour to contribute a note to his obituary in the Guardian.  He's someone you might want to seek out.

I've also realised that I haven't heard much from you guys about the A Monster Calls audiobook.  It's read by Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter films), and it's really good!  If you like audiobooks, and I know a few of you do, check it out.

Greetings to the new commenters.  More soon.
